Coffee & Brunch
Zú Espresso Bar
Specialty coffee roasted in Ecuador, paired with the best avocado toast in the valley. A ritual morning stop.
Ecuadorian
Minka
A celebration of traditional Ecuadorian cuisine — seco de pollo, llapingachos, and the creamiest soups you'll ever have.
Local Market
Mercado Artesanal
Weekend market overflowing with local farmers, homemade jams, fresh bread, and artisan products. The place to stock the kitchen.
Street Food
La Encebollada de Don Patricio
The original. Everything else is a reference point. Encebollado from a pot that reportedly never fully cools — darker, more complex, worth an early alarm.
Comedor
Comedor Rosita
The family version. Slower, warmer, just as good — pickled with naranjilla juice and a slow warm heat that creeps in halfway through the bowl.
Street Food
El Caldo de la Plaza
Weekend-only, standing room on the cobblestone plaza. One of the most satisfying breakfasts you'll eat in Ecuador.
